• This happened at my house this morning - Do I qualify???
  
  My husband just finished reading a new book, "YOU TOO CAN BE THE MAN OFYOUR HOUSE".

  He stormed into the kitchen this morning and walked directly up to me.  Pointing a finger in my face, he said sternly, "From now on, YOU need to know that I AM the MAN of this house, and my word is absolute law!"

  "You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, we are going upstairs, and we will have any kind of sex that I want. After that, you are going to draw me my bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. After that's done, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

  I replied, "The funeral director would be my guess."

• Okay, now, I can cook and I love to cook, but anything else domestic, I hate.  I have about 2 weeks worth of clean laundry on my couch because no one will help me fold it and I'm not doing it myself.  There are dishes in the sink and I refuse to do them again so no cooking tonight. 
  
  Oh, forgot to introduce myself.  I'm Allison, mother of 3 girls ages 14, 11 and 5.  I work from home so that means everybody assumes that I have all day to get cleaning done.  Well, I don't get paid to clean my own house so, therefore, it doesn't get done when I have work to do.
  
  My mom is the epitome of domesticity.  She even said one time that she didn't think I could be her daughter because I don't like all that domestic stuff.  Oh, well, my brothers took after her so she got 2 good kids out of the deal!

• Well, hubby didn't think it too hilarious when it happened.  Got a little peeved and out the door he went to whine to his livestock (we live on a ranch). 
  
  Then baby daughter, 11, was doddling getting ready for school after this happened and dragging her feet complaining and being a royal pain.  Anyway, I told her, "Just because you got a hole in your ass doesn't make you disabled.!"

  
  

  Off to school she went in a toot - What am I doing wrong?

• Well, I can help you out with cooking.  My husband is from Ohio so down here in Georgia he is considered a yankee and he says I cook too southern, but, hey, that's the way I was raised.  And, if you don't like it, don't eat it.  That's my motto.  That's about the only domestic thing I enjoy doing.  I love to bake when I have the time.  Christmas is always a nightmare because I'm baking all the time and it's usually well after midnight every night the week before Christmas when I can get finished. 
  
  Any cooking questions, I'll be there for you!

• Hi there! I'm Christina, mom to an almost 1 year old. My bf, our son, and I live in an apartment meant for 2 with storage space for an ant. The toys have taken over and will not be budged. Cooking I can do if I could only find the stove!
  
  Nice to meet you all!

• Hi everyone!  I'm a 25yr old mother of 2.  8yr old ss, and 5yr old daughter.  I can cook anything in a can, and make a mean piece of toast, otherwise my culinary masterpieces are derived from reading the back of a t.v. dinner (to know how long it needs to be in the microwave for).  The last time we didn't have dust bunnies was...well never (unless you count when we moved to this house).  As far as folding laundry goes, well what's that?lol.  All our clean clothes sits in a pile on top of our dresser.
  When my husband asked me to marry him I replied "I'm not Betty Crocker nor will I ever be, you sure you still want to marry me?" (I think he thought it would change, he's just now realizing if he wants the meals like "mom" used to make he better take his a@@ to the kitchen and cook it himself and we've been married for 6+ years).

•  well, i have been married twenty five years, three kids, all of whom are sloppy, messy packrats.. whom its impossible to get them to help me do any cleaning, so i feel that its more important that the house looks lived in rather than so clean you could eat off the floors... to top that off , i am married to a former navy corpsman and registered nurse, who is a clean freak and likes things a certain way

• hello-i'm carrey-sahm of 4, two girls 1&2 and two boys 8&10.
  i'm w/ allison. i can cook and i love to bake, but i totally suck at cleaning. not that i don't try-sometimes. i mean my dishes are usually done and my floors are scattershot mopped and vacuumed. but for the most part-i am happy to join in w/ the kids and have squirt gun fights or fingerpaint. my dining room table hasn't been seen in mos. and my computer desk look likes a landing strip for any and all kinds of paper.
  my best friend, who does work and has 5 kids(all in school mind you)says that if she were a sahm HER house would be spotless, but i tell her, i am a STAY AT HOME MOM not A HOUSEWIFE!!! am i right????
